Waters 2489 - Connecting the Detector to Empower using an e-SAT;IN Module

Connecting to other devices 2-21
Required materials
When connecting cables to the terminals on the rear panel of the detector, you
need the following tools:
• Small flat-blade screwdriver
• Electrical insulation stripping tool
Connecting the cables
To connect cables from other HPLC system devices to the I and II terminals
on the rear panel of the detector:
1. Remove terminal I or II (see Figure “I/O signal inputs and outputs” on
page 2-13).
2. Unscrew the connecting pin terminal.
3. Using the stripping tool, strip the wire down about 3 mm (1/8 inch) from
the end.
4. Insert the stripped wire into the appropriate connector.
5. Tighten the screw until the wire is held securely in place.
6. Reinsert the terminal.
7. Press firmly to ensure that it is inserted fully.
Connecting the detector to Empower using an e-SAT/IN module
Acquiring data and controlling the detector with Empower software, by using
the e-SAT/IN module instead of the Ethernet bus, requires connections
between the following hardware:
• Laboratory acquisition and control environment (LAC/E) module
(LAC/E
32
Acquisition Server or busLAC/E card)
• Ethernet satellite interface (e-SAT/IN) module
e-SAT/IN module
The Waters e-SAT/IN module shown in the figure below translates analog
signals from devices such as the detector into digital form. It then transmits
these digital signals to the busLAC/E or LAC/E
32
card installed in the
Empower workstation.
